Abstract

Modeling dynamic behaviors using events as triggers of state changes is a topic of interest in the Modeling and Simulation (M&S) field. This paper presents the terms, properties, relationships, and axioms of the ParticularEventCO (PEventCO) ontology. Such an ontology is introduced as a semantic model based on events caused by the behavior of entities. PEventCO is located at the core level of the FCD-OntoArch architecture. The foundational level of FCD-OntoArch is supported by the ThingFO ontology. Hence, the main goal is to define a model that allows representing the behavior of dynamic entities following an event-based approach as an additional feature of other ontologies included in FCD-OntoArch. Here, we detail how the main elements of ThingFO are redefined in PEventCO. We also include the formal specification of PEventCO using the ConceptBase software tool and the instantiation of a proof of concept from the M&S field.
